For the visually challenged reader, the image shows the face of a woman. It is painted with luminous glitter paint and the features are highlighted with bright yellow lines, ending in a question mark on the forehead

For generations people had come to this wise Seer for guidance. No-one knew how old she was, or from whence she had come, but anyone who sought her out always returned with peace of mind.

The old woman stared sightlessly in Sally’s direction as she opened the door to her rooms.
“Come closer and step into the light. Do not be afraid. I may be shrouded in darkness, but I see what others cannot. Please, sit.
You are troubled and it preys heavily on your mind.
Your happiness is overshadowed by others, too many opinions from different quarters. Some are distant, but there is a firm division in your soul searching.
There is a calmness within, the subtle shadows glow with an inner strength you have yet to discover. You will not be swayed with platitudes or misguided feelings of judgement.
Your eyes see the truth and you speak of love. All is connected, thus you already know what is best for you and your unborn child.”

Sally hadn’t said a word, and taking the old woman’s gnarled hand in hers, she brought it to her lips and kissed it.
‘Thank you.’ she said simply.

About pensitivity101

I am a retired number cruncher with a vivid imagination and wacky sense of humour which extends to short stories and poetry. I love to cook and am a bit of a dog whisperer as I get on better with them than people sometimes! In November 2020, we lost our beloved Maggie who adopted us as a 7 week old pup in March 2005. We decided to have a photo put on canvas as we had for her predecessor Barney. We now have three pictures of our fur babies on the wall as we found a snapshot of Kizzy, my GSD when Hubby and I first met so had hers done too. On February 24th 2022 we were blessed to find Maya, a 13 week old GSD pup who has made her own place in our hearts. You can follow our training methods, photos and her growth in my blog posts. From 2014 to 2017 'Home' was a 41 foot narrow boat where we made strong friendships both on and off the water. We were close to nature enjoying swan and duck families for neighbours, and it was a fascinating chapter in our lives. We now reside in a small bungalow on the Lincolnshire coast where we have forged new friendships and interests.
